The
dream of flight touches the human spirit like few things
can. It has inspired generations of scientists and
artists who—through their innovations—have enabled
all of us to see the world in new ways. The California
Science Center invites you to explore the art and science
of flight during this exciting two-day festival. Try
hands-on science activities to learn about flight and
space exploration, and enjoy stage
performances of
flight-inspired dance, music and storytelling.
